Megan 1st birthday, and 1st "Gotcha" day
Posted: 16 Feb 2014, 16:41
Linking back to the original thread in case anyone wanted to see what a menace she was;

The original video we made of her is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sUpg38a4Ms for size comparison :-}
She's doing pretty well now, still very friendly, but she's learned to control herself a lot better - she varies her style of play to suit the other dog, so if it's a puppy she's saying hello to, she'll often lie down and just let the puppy sniff and climb over her, with an elderly dog she'll only run at their pace, etc.
She's got a slightly odd routine at bedtime - I'm often on the computer so she likes to lie on my pillow for a while, then she might move down the bed, then she's getting under the quilt, then, if I still haven't come to bed, she'll whine and moan at me until I give up and switch off ! - then it's another fight to get into bed because she's back on my pillow :-}
Anyway, only a couple of pics...
This was her first birthday, and knowing she liked water, she got a pool to play in - except she had other ideas about where it should be...
Megan, being Megan, decided to test the strength of the first pool, and burst it within a few seconds of finally filling it up - so we went for round #2 with an instant up "flap sided" pool, so here she is working out where its' weak points are, ready for attack (she went for the drainage hole)...

Her ability to disembowel any cuddly toy has improved tremendously, as you can clearly see on this next pic - even the "tough" toys are thoroughly destroyed within 3 minutes from a standing start (this was what was left of the duck you'll see in the next video)
...and last but not least for now, another daft video from her "Gotcha Day" (today)...
